dibbers Aug 2015 10:11pm, 30 Aug 2015 193 posts	0 dibbers Yep, same at mine. The problem with most is that they're 'intensity blind' and run at their habitual pace all the time -which is always at that moderate intensity
Hills of Death (HOD) Aug 2015 10:16pm, 30 Aug 2015 31,155 posts	0 Hills of Death (HOD) Never improving never seeing any difference in his race pace. This guy who's just started running does his first rep,and first miles at similar sucide pace then dies on his arse virtual jogging/crawling in with a massive difference between the two. Another woman who goes out and run 10 miles at 8.30 pace saying each time she does it another PB . She did a 10k today 55 mins errr well how did that happen lol
Dvorak Aug 2015 10:43pm, 30 Aug 2015 10,718 posts	0 Dvorak Hmm. I ran a 10K just under 55 today but if I was doing 10 miles in training I'd probably be running 10:30 or slower. Did you tell her she ran a shit race? ;-). Or might she be telling ies about her training?

steve45 Sep 2015 11:14am, 2 Sep 2015 299 posts	0 steve45 There are all sorts of slight variations of course (?) re the levels for HR...but from what I read---in thr higher zones: Anaerobic Threshold is 80-90% effort Anaerobic is 90-95% (max running of 15 minutes at this pace in training , either by intervals OR 15 mins continuous effort at 5k pace) Lactic is 95-100% zone. (Taken from "The Heart Rate Monitor Training Guide for Runners" K Maclaren) According to "The Lore of Running" pp 283-284, running at 80-90% reflects the transition from the aerobic zone (one that can be sustained for hours) to one that can be sustained by elite athletes for prolonged periods of at least 60 minutes but only with some difficulty. It is said(?!!) in here that it is a zone strictly for those interested in high performance. Well...we all know the general principles....

Bazoaxe Sep 2015 12:19pm, 2 Sep 2015 8,883 posts	0 Bazoaxe I noticed something odd on this mornings recovery run where I was aiming for 126bpm or less. I was achieving 122/3 but come to a set of stairs where I stop the watch and walk up. The act of walking up stairs saw my HR go to 127 and when I resumed running it hit 130 before going back to the 122/3 that it had been. Stair climbing is hard work

Everything you need to know about training with a heart rate monitor. Remember the motto "I can maintain a fast pace over the race distance because I am an Endurance God". Mind the trap door....

Gobi lurks here, but for his advice you must first speak his name. Ask and you shall receive.

A quote:

"The area between the top of the aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold is somewhat of a no mans land of fitness. It is a mix of aerobic and anaerobic states. For the amount of effort the athlete puts forth, not a whole lot of fitness is produced. It does not train the aerobic or anaerobic energy system to a high degree. This area does have its place in training; it is just not in base season. Unfortunately this area is where I find a lot of athletes spending the majority of their seasons, which retards aerobic development. The athletes heart rate shoots up to this zone with little power or speed being produced when it gets there." Matt Russ, US International Coach
